Can a bubble mailer be sent as a large envelope
In general, a bubble mailer can be sent as a large envelope, but it depends on the specific regulations and guidelines of the postal service you're using.
Here are some general guidelines:
- In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) considers a bubble mailer to be a large envelope if it meets the following criteria:
- The envelope is rectangular in shape and has a length of 12 inches or more, a width of 12 inches or more, and a thickness of 3/4 inch or more.
- The envelope weighs 13 ounces or more.
- In Canada, Canada Post considers a bubble mailer to be a large envelope if it meets the following criteria:
- The envelope is rectangular in shape and has a length of 13 inches or more, a width of 13 inches or more, and a thickness of 1 inch or more.
- The envelope weighs 500 grams or more.
- In the United Kingdom, Royal Mail considers a bubble mailer to be a large letter if it meets the following criteria:
- The envelope is rectangular in shape and has a length of 23 cm or more, a width of 23 cm or more, and a thickness of 2 cm or more.
- The envelope weighs 100g or more.
If your bubble mailer meets these criteria, you can likely send it as a large envelope. However, it's always a good idea to check with your local post office or the postal service's website to confirm their specific guidelines and regulations.
Additionally, even if your bubble mailer meets the size and weight criteria, you may still need to pay a higher rate for shipping due to its size and weight. Be sure to check the shipping rates and fees before sending your package.
